I use the Alchemy skill - it is one of the important skill, imo. Get it trained up, and go and steal Master alchemy equipment in an unguarded storeroom in Caldera - accessible from the ground floor of the guild and up a staircase. The better your equipment the better your potions. It is best to use all 4 pieces - but you do not need to carry them around with you! Until I have somewher to call my own, I stash 'em byt the beds in Balmora Mage guild, and pile ingredients on the bed too. (You can do this in any guld you are a member of.)

You need at least 2 ingredients to make a potion, and as you get better at it it is worth trying to make potions with 3 or 4 ingredients. Not too soon, though, because early on a lot of your potions will fail and using 3/4 will just be a waste.

Some 'special' potions you might like to try, using 4 ingredients:

Large Kwama Egg, Dreugh Wax, Ash Yam, Shalk Resin. Fortifies health and strength. Good to use just before a fight that looks a bit much for your char.

Large Kwama Egg, Shalk Resin, Emerald, Saltrice. The important part of this is that it both restores and fortifies health. As a bonus, you get a Magica boost and restored fatigue. Good to use in a battle when you think you might be losing! - Especially if you are a magic user.

Moon sugar, Kagouti Hide, Crab Meat (Saltrice can be substituted,) Hackle-Lo leaf. This increases your speed and restores your fatigue so you can run fast without getting tired.
